After last week’s Float page, David dives inside his mind to escape the pain of his upcoming divorce. Anxiety has cost him another love and another beneficial relationship. His number one defense mechanism is to retreat inward. Amanda, David’s soon-to-be ex-wife, offers some final words of encouragement. Every person has their breaking point. Anxiety doesn’t just affect its victim. It also affects its victim’s friends, relatives and…

This transition is symbolic of whenever I’ve faced an insurmountable pressure and loss, Anxiety appears. Anxiety waits at the door to my mind and knocks repeatedly. He wants inside to play around wreck the decor. Anxiety is unrelenting. He doesn’t get tired easily and he’s very strong.…

As we saw in the last week’s Float page, the Worm was ground down by the Meat Plow after his fall from grace. Anxiety has been the cause of many downfalls in my life but I still believe in the power of hope. I survive each attack and I consider myself strong for making it through to the other side.
